Melissa Unemori Hampe, Partner at Skog Rasmussen LLC (SR), brings to clients the benefit of decades of public, private, and nonprofit experience, working with entities across the country and internationally. Ms. Hampe boosts nonprofit, public, and private sector collaborations to help obtain federal and charitable dollars for community-focused projects. This recently translated into roughly $100 million for local governments in the American Cities Climate Challenge, sponsored by Bloomberg Philanthropies, Natural Resources Defense Council, and Urban Sustainability Directors Network.
Prior to SR, over 11 years on Capitol Hill, she performed legislative work as a senior staffer in both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. She advocated before the Legislative and Executive Branches for public policy and funding at a national non-profit that sets industry standards for youth mentoring, MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership. She joined DC-based McAllister & Quinn in 2008, a current SR client, providing strategic grants and government affairs analysis, advice, and advocacy services to nonprofit, education, health care, local government, and tribal clients.
She received her B.S. from Cornell University and M.B.A. from the Yale School of Management. After several years in D.C., she and her family returned to the Island of Maui, Hawaii.
